Highlights
  • ThailandBiking - Bangkok Branch (Recreational Bangkok Biking) - At our office/lounge we give a short briefing about the tour what to do and not to do before getting started.

The Bangkok Paradise tour has many highlights as you can see in the tour-description. Unfortunately only “well known landmarks” can be filled out as “attraction” on this site. Wat Bangkok and or Phrapadaeng Market, you can’t find as an attraction. This proves how “off the beaten path” this tour actually is. If you like riding a bicycle and would like to go where on few have been before, sign up for this adventure and let us surprise you.

  • Bhumibol Bridge (Industrial Ring Road Bridge) - The Bhumibol Bridge, also known as the Industrial Ring Road Bridge is part of the 13 km long Industrial Ring Road connecting southern Bangkok with Samut Prakan Province. The bridge crosses the Chao Phraya River twice, with two striking cable-stayed spans of lengths of 702 m and 582 m supported by two diamond-shaped pylons 173 m and 164 m high. Where the two spans meet, another road rises to join them at a free-flowing interchange suspended 50 metres above the ground. The bridge opened for traffic on 20 September 2006, before the official opening date of 5 December 2006. It is part of the Bangkok Industrial Ring Road, a royal scheme initiated by King Bhumibol Adulyadej that aimed to solve traffic problems within Bangkok and surrounding areas, especially the industrial area around Khlong Toei Port, southern Bangkok, and Samut Prakan Province.

According to tradition, all bridges over the Chao Phraya in Bangkok are named after a member of the royal family. In October 2009, it was announced that both bridges would be named after King Bhumibol Adulyadej, with the northern bridge officially named “Bhumibol 1 Bridge” and the southern bridge “Bhumibol 2 Bridge”. The unofficial name “Mega Bridge” was also widely used.

Thai Ways and Biking Superb - I loved the tour. From the Phrapadeang Market to Temple Wat Luang Pho Ophasi to the long tail boat ride through the endless canals-everything was the Thai way of life. Thank you to the guide, Best, who took my safety and my love of biking to heart as well as showing me the Thai culture. Thank you Andre for having such a wonderful company: Thailand Biking.

an awesome experience! Biking in Bangkok - I didn’t expect that cycling in Bangkok would be fun, but is was a great experience. The bicycle is comfortable and the tour was great. After taking the ferry we cycled through the ‘ green lungs’ of Bangkok. We had several breaks, visited a temple and we’re able to participate in a boxing match led by a true champion .

Fantastic tour of parts of Bangkok City and Bangkok Land - With guide Pipe we have a great leader. A unique ride through the "Homeland" Bangkok, translating with a very small boat and a super nice bike ride through the other Bangkok. Great food on the roadside and unlikely good explanations. Can we recommend it to any Bangkok visitor.

Wonderfull bicycle tour - During this tour we visited one of the many temples of Bangkok, cycled through Bang Krachao the green lungs of Bangkok, some poor areas and Muay Thai Boxing Area. We did the 5-hour trip, in my opinion too short!

The green side of Bangkok - We really enjoyed our afternoon cycle ride around bang Krachao, amazing to to see the other side of Bangkok. Greenery, hardly any cars and the sound of silence! Our guide Praer was excellent, very knowledgeable and also keen to chat to us about our home life too. The meal in the restaurant was simple but nice, and all in all a superb enjoyable afternoon. We were welcomed very well at the office by the superb English speaking Nat, who not only knew where Jersey ( our home) was, but had actually been to our tiny island and showed us the photos! The cycle to and from the boat is slightly un nerving at times, but it’s only 15 mins and praer looked after us. The bikes could have done with a little more maintenance, and baskets would be very useful
